Roland XV-3080 用户手册

• Select a Patch that is similar to the sound you wish to 

create.

When you want to create a new sound, it’s a good idea to 
begin with a Patch that is close to the sound that you 
have in mind. Starting with a Patch that bears no 
resemblance to the one you want to create is likely to 
result in much more programming work for you.

• Decide which Tones will sound

When creating a Patch, it is important to decide which 
Tones you are going to use. It is also important to turn 
off unused Tones to avoid wasting voices, unnecessarily 
reducing the number of simultaneous notes you can 
play. (Selecting the Tones That Will Sound)

• Check the way in which the Tones are combined

Structure Type 1&2 and 3&4 are important parameters 
that determine how the four Tones are combined. Before 
you select new Tones, make sure you understand how 
the currently selected Tones are affecting each other. (p. 
88)

• Turn off effects

Since the XV-3080 effects have such a profound impact 
on its sounds, turn off a Patch’s effects during 
programming so you can more clearly hear the changes 
you’re making. Actually, sometimes just changing effects 
settings can give you the sound you want. (p. 21)

Here’s how to turn on the Tones that you want to hear in a 
Patch. You can also use the on/off technique described in 
this section to audition an individual Tone by turning off all 
the other Tones in a Patch.

1. Select the Patch you wish to work with.

2. Make sure that the PATCH PLAY page is displayed.

3. Hold down [SHIFT] and press TONE SW [1]–[4] to 

switch the corresponding Tone on so that its indicator 
lights, or off so that its indicator goes dark.

The PATCH PLAY page indicates the Tones that are on as 
follows. Tones that are off are shown as “-.”
